Act to Adapt

A giant board game during which the 'community team'has to prioritise vulnerable community resources and take collective or individual actions to protect them from the 'hazard team'.

Learning objectives

To experience the impacts of climate change; to explore how different community resources are vulnerable to different types of extreme weather and hazards and what you can do individually or in groups to address this.

Playspace requirements

A large space, big enough for all participants to make a circle.
